How Young Leaders Award can connect schools and churches

Rev’d Emma Sykes, Vicar at St Barnabus Church, talks about the Young Leaders Award

CELEBRATING TOGETHER – CHILDREN, CHURCH AND COMMUNITY. Rev’d Emma Sykes, Vicar at St Barnabus Church talks about the Young Leaders Award (YLA) which offers lots of scope for schools and churches to work together.

It’s a great opportunity for the church and its members to connect in a different way with children within their local school.

The Church of England’s Growing Faith Foundation promotes a partnership between the three communities of Church, School and Home to enable the discovery, exploration and growth of faith for all in those communities.

Available at KS1 through to Post 16, the YLA has strong links to SMSC, British Values, PSHE, Character Education, Citizenship, RE and SIAMS.
